The biggest wrestling event of the summer is here.
Fan-favorite wrestlers will face off at WWE SummerSlam 2025, and it’s expected to be a major showdown. John Cena, who announced he would retire at the end of 2025, will battle Cody Rhodes in a highly-anticipated street fight. The night before the official start to SummerSlam, Cena seemingly abandoned his heel persona after shocking audiences in March when he became the “villain” of the match.
SummerSlam will also see World Heavyweight Champion Gunther go up against CM Punk, who returned to the franchise in 2023.Tiffany Stratton is also set to defend her Women’s Championship title against Jade Cargill.
